Have you ever found yourself in a situation where you're watching a movie and feel like you've already seen it before? The actors and setting might be different but you just feel like you know exactly what's going to happen next. Well, turns out it's because Hollywood loves making movies with almost identical plots - sometimes even a few during the same year! Twitter user Kris recently pointed this out and gave movies No Strings Attached and Friends with Benefits as examples. Apparently, the user was onto something as over 233k people liked his post and some even responded with their own examples - check them out below!

Now, this doesn't necessarily mean the movies are bad - they're just a little repetitive. I mean, do we really need so much superhero movies or movies starring Dwayne Johnson?

And don't even get me started on movies starring Adam Sandler - there must have been a new one coming out every other week when I was a kid.
